The number of app ideas I have been pitched in an Uber.
When I was working in software I would tell them I worked for the government and couldn’t talk about it, to avoid saying I worked in software, to avoid being pitched app ideas.
Somebody once pitched me an app idea and it was x-ray on your phone. So basically you take a picture of your arm or leg or whatever to see if it’s broken.
All he needed to get this totally doable app idea off the ground was someone with the ability to get a camera to convert visible light into different part of the spectrum. If you guys can get on that I would appreciate it. I tried looking on the stack exchange but they weren’t any help.
I can imagine.
I work in the environmental field. I either get hare-brained conspiracy ramblings, or ‘oh. Yeah. It’s important we put things back the way we found them…’
I should really do an uno-reverso one time and just NOT shut up about advanced topics. Buckle up, bitch. The next 45 minutes are all going to be about soil physics
Soil…physics?
turns down music
Go on…
Seriously might make the drivers day. Driving around bored as shit or listen to an expert talk about a topic they love with great passion?
Not a hard call for me either.
I’m listening…
This is why I prefer robotaxis. No driver to bother you, which means that you don’t have to tip, either. Plus they tend to be cheaper than Uber/Lyft.
Obligatory mention that walking, cycling and public transit is orders of magnitude cheaper and you don’t have to talk to anybody either.
You’d save a bunch of money even if you still take the taxi half the time
What I want is motorized roller skates, so I can just sort of whiz along while standing perfectly still.
